Abstract

It is widely assumed by commentators that the post-socialist transformation started in Poland. This is true, but only to a certain extent. Although it was indeed in Poland in the 1980s that various processes contributing to this dramatic change gained the greatest momentum, things were not stationary in the other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The winds of change were also blowing in Hungary and the former Czechoslovakia. But it is true that Poland acted as a trailblazer and was the first to implement many of these changes, which was not an easy thing to do.
